Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. It didn't allow to choose a bed configuration. It allowed you to express a preference. Also, what do you mean by select plus? Never come across that before.
  2. If you wish to take coach travel instead of obc or free parking you need to say when booking. You can book and pay yourself independently. Intercruise/Cruise Connect are the preferred partners of P&O and that is who is used for the "free" option. Or, there is also Eavesway which provide the same service. Can't help with London transfers.
  3. Back in the day when these get togethers were hosted I did observe the host have a quiet word with some people who had entered together, sat together, only spoke to each other etc. They didn't come back. But maybe, don't advertise it in The Horizon but give invitations to those who are travelling alone and whose bookings are not linked with another party.
  4. I often see posts on here (and other places) from people who are worried about cruising for the first time without a partner. Even though they state that they are travelling with family or friends they are often advised to attend the solo get togethers. I am in two minds about this. A tea and biscuit isn't going to bankrupt P&O so why not? But, these meetings are for solo travellers (those who are travelling alone) to meet up to arrange port visits, evening activities and such like and, if you are with friends and family you are not a solo traveller. I'v witnessed the situation where sisters, sharing a cabin, have attended. On the other hand, I have met more than a few solo travellers who had left their partners at home for a myriad of reasons. Single does not mean solo, and solo does not mean single. What are others thoughts. Should those who are not solo travellers be "allowed" to gatecrash these get togethers. Should more of a difference be made between single and solo.
  5. You can take it wherever you want! I often make a g&t last all evening and take it from one venue to another.
  6. Extension cords are not allowed. You are allowed multi socket adaptors that are NOT surge protected.
  7. Solo travellers are more likely to book excursions. A lot of people don’t like (feel safe) wandering round an unfamiliar foreign place on their own.
  8. The price you see advertised is per person, based on sharing a cabin. So you need to double the headline price to see the price for the cabin. The way I see it is that I pay slightly less than a couple and I don't have to share!
  9. I arrive by coach so never use the luggage pods, that is all taken care of.
  10. No. That is to say there are no restrictions on multi-way adaptors. Just extension leads with surge protectors are not allowed (unless needed for medical use).
  11. That honey will not work. Mass produced honey is 'farmed' by feeding bees sugar syrup. You need to use natural honey, produced by bees that make it the old fashioned way from natural sources such as flowers.
  12. The deck will depend on the tide. Self disembarkation is always first at around 7am.
  13. Not necessarily. I know people have not got their cabin allocation until check in. I think you can print luggage labels that leave the cabin blank or, have a code on that indicate that no cabin has been allocated and it gets sorted on board.
  14. Tips are INCLUDED in the cost of the cruise. You are free to give EXTRA tips to particular staff if you want to. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
